Shared Interest Groups (SIGs) are comprised of Chamber members with similar interests who meet to discuss trends, challenges, ideas and thoughts. SIGs give members the opportunity to learn, network and develop long-term, meaningful relationships in a casual setting that promotes conversation and camaraderie. SIGs will be formed without regard to geographical boundaries and will be guided by “conversation starters.”
Social and online media are here to stay as a tool for business owners to market their business. This group will focus on the applications and uses of social media for small business owners.
Conversation Starter: Mark Smith, CentreSource
Featured Topic: Digital hip: How to complement your social media strategy with the right technology
It all starts with solid strategy, and good tools can be the icing on the cake. Get smart about two technology tools - link distribution and application programming interface (API) marketing – including what they are and what they can do for you.
